As vice president of marketing and communication at the Ms. Foundation, Kelly Parisi's work isn't just her professional interest — it's her personal passion. As she so eloquently puts it, "I'm able to channel my outrage at women's inequality and gender injustice into action every day."
The Ms. Foundation is a national nonprofit aimed at eliminating barriers for women. The foundation funds and supports local community projects, works to raise visibility of women's issues in the media, publishes informational resources and works at the state and national level to advocate for policy to protect women's rights, safety and wellbeing. Kelly oversees the communications staff; doing everything from meeting with internal and external stakeholders to develop strategic campaigns to brand building and website redesigns.
